The number that struck me the most was the percentage, from 12% to 20% in 2 months. Amazing. Then of course there is the huge VL decrease! While not undectable yet, I am quite happy with these results!

Yay! Congratulations, your numbers are great. With how much your VL has dropped (considering it's only been two months), I wouldn't be worried in the slightest that it is still measurable. You're well on your way to being undetectable...and staying there!

I am so happy for you. That is great news. Your numbers seem to be heading in the right direction like mine did. My cd4 level was at 264, VL at 114,000 when I was first diagnosed early last year. Now my cd4 level is at 398( i think) and VL is undetectable at 53. It's just amazing. It really has given a whole new appreciation towards my health and my life.
